Whereas less than 5 per cent of the Province of Ontario is suitable for food production. Whereas in the Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan section A 2.4.1 states "It is the goal of this Plan to preserve areas demonstrating high capability for agricultural production for that purpose." Whereas the Provincial Policy Statement in section 2.3.1 states "Prime agricultural areas shall be protected for long -term use for agriculture." Whereas the Township of Oro - Medonte contains large areas of both prime and nonprime agricultural land. Therefore, the Development Services Committee recommends to Council that the Corporation of the Township of Oro - Medonte cease to develop any prime agricultural land for non - agricultural municipal uses, excluding waterlines, sewers and roads and also where no reasonable alternative can be found, a net benefit study be conducted to justify the necessity of using prime farmland and to verify that the area of farmland being taken out of production is required and no excess land is wasted.
